Well hi! We always welcome new folk.

>_> If you ever feel up to it, sounds to me like you could write some really stand-out fanfiction, what with you having military experience and all. Maybe not of the precise engagements you were in (classified?) but you would know how things work generally.

I know what you're thinking about fanfic, but it's actually not a bad hobby, and people are really supported. When I first started out I was pretty embarrassed, but I've kind of settled into it. Anyway, just saying, I bet you'd be good.

Hope and fanfic and episode discussions are what keep us all going. Surprisingly a lot of all three even almost a decade after the original series ended. :)

I'm largely a new fan in recent years as well. It's an amazing story with an amazing fan base. The story is about living on after losing what you loved most, and somehow trying to find that again. The show itself may have lost, but it wasn't wrong. It was a show about lost causes, and when it fell, it became a lost cause in and of itself, but was never wrong either. The original fans that were with it from the get-go and tried to save it are like the "old breed" of marines or something like that. They are the sergeants major of the browncoat army. I'd be lucky to be a PFC by now. Just a simple volunteer though, able and willin' to do his part. The mission now: get the BDS up there...like ruttin' yesterday! Regards.

Hiya! As a newbie myself, I know exactly which deaths you're talking about, and when I first watched Serenity, I cried. Yes, I cried. And again when Tracey's body is brought back to his folks on "The Message". Such a brilliant show and movie! I usually don't bawl when a character in a movie dies, but Joss, (WHY did you kill off Book and Wash!) like the fantastic writer he is, had me using the Kleenex like it was 5 cents a box.

Enjoy the site!

ditto on almost all counts-saw the movie first but without the background it seemed to be just another space opera, albeit a very good one. Not sure what my favorite episode is yet, I'm afraid I'll have to watch the whole series several more times before I decide.

By the way, the program geniuses at Fox also cancelled my other favorite show of all time-Millennium (Lance Henriksen, Terry O'Quinn) And they canceled Brimstone with Peter Horton.

Good luck on your journey DuKhang.

One final bit-you can get FF on Netflix (streaming service)

Welcome aboard!

I pretty much started as you have, seeing Serenity first then searching the internet for more. Sadly there was no more tv shows to catch. But I have made a ton of friends and had loads of enjoyment here @ FFF.net.

Also you will not find a better group of actors and creators which made up the Firefly cast and crew. They are as loyal to their fans as are the browncoats are to them. I never miss a chance to catch a FF alum on another show. Just saw Jewel today on “Mothman” & caught Summer and Nathan on Comic Con on G4. Still waiting to see Alan in “Vs Evil”.

See ya, Z
